Conference
The Long View:
Art, a sense of place, belonging and reciprocity in relation to landscape.
This two day conference will explores themes of place, people and natural landscapes in relation to access to land, National Parks, Public Art Collections and collective acts of ecological care. It aims to re-examine and radically reposition the role that art can play in this time of climate and nature crisis, moving beyond human-centred meaning and extractive narratives of nature in art and wider cultures of landscapes. Taking place in a treehouse venue within a New Forest woodland this two-day conference will dwell upon the urgent intersections of art and landscapes in a time of ecological crisis.
